* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Early Ashton, a giant 30 foot tall rabbit [[spoiler:(with her height courtesy of one of Dr. Von Harris`s experiments gone wrong three decades ago)]] introduced in book two. During her introduction scene, she gleefully gives Vikki some not too subtle death threats and enjoys watching her squirm at the mention of other people she made disappear in sadistic glee, but after [[spoiler: she is freed from being a soulgem and returned to normal height it`s revealed that she used her giant height to help several others who were in need of aid (like some kids escaping their homicidal father in 1978 being one example) before dropping them off a state or two away.]]

* StuffBlowingUp: Vikki causes quite a lot of explosions (and by extent, damages) during her time spent learning magic in the Gholems world. Isa lampshades this as Vikki wraps up her training.

* ProductPlacement: Jared delivers a box full of Twinkies to Dr. Von Harris in book two. [[spoiler: It turns out that the doctor needed the one`s with green colored creme to power his growth ray.]]

* ProductPlacement: Jared delivers a box full of Twinkies to Dr. Von Harris in book two. [[spoiler: It turns out that the doctor needed the one`s with the green colored filling promoting an expy of a Shrek movie to power his growth ray.]]

* GilliganCut: After Isa knocks out Prince John to save Jared at one point in the story, the nearby guards come in and see the state of the royal, prompting Jared to say he can explain everything. The next panel shows him, Isa and Vikki locked in a dungeon, implying that Jared really messed up in his explanation.

** Early Ashton, an anthro 70 foot tall giant rabbit introduced in book two, seems eager to give Vikki some not too subtle death threats when the duo first meet in the woods and darkly implies with glee that she remained undiscovered due to carrying out said threats on others who ran into her. [[spoiler: It`s later revealed that some of the people who "disappeared" in her section of the forest were escaping unpleasant situations (like a pair of siblings trying to escape their homicidal father), and that [[PetTheDog Early helped them survive by secretly dropping them off several states away, with her "victims" then staying under the radar from that moment on.]]]]

* KarmicDeath: After [[spoiler: betraying everyone to the demons and working with them to resurrect and empower the Precursor Tiamat in book one, Tim ends up getting betrayed himself by Kaminovo and Kyominara and left behind to die in an immobile and magic-less state (being told by the former that he outlived his usefulness to them). Seconds later, Tim then gets flattened by Tiamat (whos soulgem was being powered by Vikki, the student he personally tricked into reviving the monster).]]

* LeeroyJenkins: At one point in the comic, Kyominara enters a dungeon to collect all the captured hero`s for the [[spoiler: revival ceremony of the Precursor Tiamat. As she opens his cell door and taunts to him on how Vikki will be sacrificed, Jared snaps and charges to the demon, only to get blasted back by a spell.]]

* ArtisticLicenseLaw: Basically how the law works in "The Terrorists" arc. After Gary and Mrs. Knight get mistaken for terrorists on the roof of a local hospital, a device that emits a video screen is brought out by the SWAT team, with a Judge speaking from the other end. Before Gary can even say a word in defense, the judge just identifies him and Mrs. Knight as the culprits who were caught in the act red handed and sentences them to die by lethal injection before cutting the transmission, forcing the two kangaroos to try and get out through other means while darts full of potassium chloride are fired at them.
